I have sent Lavrentyeva’s
application[1] to Smolyaninov
(who is acting for Gorbunov as the C.P.C. business manager)
for dispatch to the proper address.

I am not supposed in any sense to interfere in this and
similar other cases; and all the assistance you can give to
applicants should consist in “legal” aid to them, i.e.,
teaching them (and helping them) to fight for their rights
according to all the rules of the legitimate fight for rights
in the R.S.F.S.R.
